Graphical excellence is the well-designed presentation of interesting data—a matter of substance, of statistics, and of design. … [It] consists of complex ideas communicated with clarity, precision, and efficiency. … [It] is that which gives to the viewer the greatest number of ideas in the shortest time with the least ink in the smallest space. … [It] is nearly always multivariate. … And graphical excellence requires telling the truth about the data. (Tufte, 1983, p. 53)
